About Gabriella

I became a caregiver because there is no greater joy then helping those who are in need. There is no greater feeling in which you get when you can help someone out, and knowing that they truly do appreciate what you do for them. Aside from that feeling, taking the time to know and understand someone is what I enjoy most about being a caregiver. My personal achievement in which I am most proud of with being a caregiver is seeing a heart-warming smile on someone's face. Going above and beyond the required amount of care, and knowing that the littlest things can really make someone's day. I started out working in the Dietary Aid field as a cook for an Assisted Living facility. Being around an environment like such, made me realize that my true passion lies towards helping others. Ever since I realized my compassion for being a caregiver, I switched directions in my field of work. I have been working with Assisted Living facilities for two years now. It is such an accomplishment that I can go to work every day, knowing that I have truly helped people out in such a touching way that leaves a smile on their face.
